During Thanksgiving dinner this year, Dr. Grey invited a few of his closest friends over to dine, and as Clue is their favorite game, he presented each one with a 2001 calender. Accompanying each calender month is a scene depicting one of the six Clue suspects (including Prof. Plum), with each suspect appearing in one of the nine rooms in Mr. Boddy's mansion, with one of the six weapons. Each suspect is featured two different months, but no one suspect is pictured in the same room or with the same weapon more than once. From the clues, determine the suspect, room, and weapon depicted on each page of the new calender.
1. The two months in which scenes with the knife appear both start with the same initial, and the two months in which scenes with the revolver appear both start with the same initial. No two consecutive months feature the same suspect, room, and/or weapon.
2. For each of the six weapons, one appears in a picture featuring a female suspect, and one appears in a picture featuring a male suspect (one of whom was featured with a weapon in the Ballroom).
3. Of the nine rooms in Mr. Boddy's Mansion, only the Dining Room, Hall, and Study appear twice on pages throughout the calender. Each of these three rooms is depicted once with a male suspect and once with a female suspect. The lead pipe was featured as the weapon in exactly two of these rooms.
4. Both months in which Mrs. White is featured immediately precedes a month in which Col. Mustard is featured. Both January and December feature two different female suspects; in fact, no two consecutive months feature female suspects.
5. Six consecutive months, in order from first to last, feature Mr. Green in the Conservatory, Miss Scarlet with the rope, and a suspect in the Dining Room with the knife, a suspect in the Kitchen with the revolver, a male suspect in the Billiard Room, and Mrs. Peacock with the candlestick.
6. Each of the months in which Mr. Green is featured appears in the calender before each the months in which Col. Mustard is featured.
7. The month of October is accompanied by a picture featuring the Study, and the weapon which is featured is the same weapon which was used by one of the suspects in the Conservatory. The wrench is featured during both February and December, in the Library and the Ballroom, in some order.
8. The rope was featured once in a scene depicting the Lounge, which appeared sometime in the calender after at least one scene in which Mrs. Peacock was featured.

Five retired couples, who live at the Ridgeway Apartments, walk their dogs everyday. Earlier today, the doorman, Henk, being somewhat bored, noticed the order in which Mark and the other nine individuals walked their dogs, and having been employed at the Ridgeway Apartment complex for more years than he cares to remember, he knows each of the residents by their first name s and last names (Gortat, Kaser, Lawson, Rinaldi, and Stumme). Naturally, he also knows the names of each of their dogs (two are Max and Lancelot). From the clues, determine the order in which each person walked his or her dog.
1. Each couple has two dogs of the same breed (one couple has two Pomeranians), and it is their habit for one spouse to walk one of the dogs in the morning, before lunch, and the other spouse to walk the other dog in the afternoon, after lunch. Any person walking a dog immediately before or immediately after another person, did so either in the morning or in the afternoon.
2. The two dogs which belong to each couple have names which start with the same initial; Rusty was walked earlier in the day than was his companion, Rocket. Rusty and Rocket are not cocker spaniels (neither of which were walked either immediately before or immediately after a corgi was walked).
3. In the morning, the five dogs were walked in this order: first Marmaduke, followed by the dog walked by Mrs. Stumme, the dog walked by William, one of the schnauzers, and Smokey. 4. In the afternoon, the five dogs were walked in this order: first the one walked by Mr. Gortat, the dog walked by Anne-Marie, one of the fox terriers, Jethro, and the dog walked by Liz.
5. Jasper was walked immediately before one of the cocker spaniels, and immediately after the dog walked by Everett (who is not married to Liz); Everett and his wife do not have either schnauzers or fox terriers.
6. Lacey was walked immediately after the dog walked by Rosemary, and immediately before the dog the dog walked by Sandra. Deborah (who is not Mrs. Rinaldi) walked one of their dogs immediately before David walked one of theirs.
7. Ms. Lawson walked one of their dogs immediately before Scotty was walked, and immediately after the dog walked by Phil.
